Technical development of the online platform for the Global Internet Policy Observatory - SMART 2014/0026

In the context of the Global Internet Policy Observatory (GIPO) initiative, the European Commission is launching a call for tenders for the Technical development of the online GIPO platform

The main objective of the tender is the technical development of the GIPO on-line web-based platform for monitoring Internet-related policy, regulatory and technological developments across the world.

GIPO aims to increase expertise and understanding among all actors, including countries, NGOs and interest groups which may have so far been marginalised in Internet debates and decisions.

The GIPO online platform will perform mainly the following functions:

  • using Information and Communication Technologies to continuously monitor and gather information and data on Internet-related policy developments, making full use of "big data" technologies;
  • identify links between different fora and discussions, with the objective to overcome "policy silos", contextualise information and identify policy trends;
  • provide easy-to-use access to data via dashboards and other modern visualisation techniques.
